Tandem Jump
New Jersey Skydiving highly recommends this method
for your first skydive. Tandem skydives require the least amount of training
(usually less than an hour), and maintain the highest degree of safety.
Your instructor will be with you through the entire skydive and parachute
ride. Your jump will include approximately 70 seconds of freefall, followed
by a canopy ride that lasts anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes. Should you request
it, you may also assist in steering the parachute.
Accelerated Freefall
AFF is the most advanced method of training to become
certified to skydive on your own. Before your first jump you will attend
a 4 to 6 hour training class that will teach you the fundamentals of skydiving.
Your jump is made in the company of two USPA rated AFF Jump masters who
provide direct assistance during the exit and freefall. You will have
the opportunity to deploy your pilot chute, which will release your main
canopy. Once your parachute is deployed, you will (with radio assistance)
control a solo parachute descent back to the drop zone.
